I used to lie in bed drifting off to sleep listening to music.
One night whilst pursuing this fairly innocent activity, I was listening to the sound 12".
When the song All My Sons kicked in, (AS you probably know it begins with Tim Shouting All my Sons) I must have leapt about three feet in the air and landed in a crumpled heap on the floor beside my bed.
Has anyone else had similar James related band injuries!?!

That's really funny, because a friend of mine, (who I converted to a James fan some years back) used to use All My Sons as an alarm to wake up in the morning. He would turn the volume up really loud on his stereo and set it to come on and play that song in the morning. Scared the bejeesus out of his roommate the first time he did it. No personal injuries myself that I can think of. Although after seeing their concert at Shepard's Bush in 2000, my friends and I tried to sleep on the sidewalk outside King's Cross Station because we missed the last train back to Cambridge. But there was a homeless man talking into a broken cell phone saying he was going to kill us all, which made it a little difficult to do so. So I guess there was some mental anguish. Plus I had to go to work the next day on about one hour of sleep. Ah, the things I endure for James.

Now how, exactly, does one crack ribs at a *concert*?! I mean, I've broken ribs plenty of times-- but never at a rock concert! Geez, things must be rougher in England. And to think I was considering moving there...

In the days before stereos with timers I used to leave the radio on all night and developed a highly acute sense of hearing.  I used to wake up whenever "sit down" came on the radio (which was quite a lot as it was a Manchester station and it was the mid-nineties) - often before Tim started singing! The only problem was I then had go get out of bed turn the radio up and sing along to the entire song before I could settle back down to sleep! The long term effects aren't good! |
